A fast-paced, suspense filled movie that explores the search for lost daughters, questions about justice & morality, and explores the nature of familial and human relationships through dramatic performances and hold-your-breath level drama. Thought about this one for weeks.

The 2009 Argentinian version, a really good detective thriller, feels like an early christopher Nolan film in a lot of way. its got the same time thing going on, with it cutting between the detectives solving the case and then writing a book about it 20 years later. there’s a scene about halfway through set at a football pitch, which is genuinely one of the most impressive scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. 100% recommend

I previously watched this drama miniseries back when it aired in 2016, but I recently rewatched just last week with my girlfriend. Maybe it’s the fact that my mom was a lawyer, but I seem to gravitate to any show that has courtroom scenes (i.e. I’m also watching Your Honor on Showtime). Riz Ahmed plays Nasir Khan, a Pakistani-American college student who spends the night with a mysterious woman and the next morning finds her brutally stabbed 22 times in her bed. The show cuts time between the trial and Khan’s time in prison and how easy it is to make decisions as an inmate that can damage your future. Give it a watch - John Turturro does an amazing job as Khan’s unqualified, yet surprising attorney.

A chilling & hyper-stereotyped thriller that captures the zeitgeist of our modern times. As a literal entire city spirals into chaos following a massive cyber leak, the film explores themes such as privacy, self-determination, and the repercussions of talking shit w bestie.

The story of how (the) Facebook came to be. From betrayal to ambition, and from friendship to friendship-building, the story of how a small group of friends built a massive social media empire. This is drama, rich dialogue and a timecapsule into the early days of the tech world.

Stanley Kubrick’s mysterious exploration of contemporary love, lust, and social mores. An eye-watering study of relationships that transgress convention, appealing to the complexity of love in the age of the internet.
